I agree, both of my hot springs had scratches/spots that would prevent a 70 and would most likely be a return if sold on ebay. Not worth the price and possible ebay headaches for the small $ return. I will buy the future Ps and sell unopened to coinfame or MCM and use the small headache free profit to help get the ones I actually want to collect, such as Gettysburg, PCGS slabbed from EBAY

I would say I have never had one silver coin from the mint with a white spot (but I won't - bad karma!!!). I do have a proof set with one coin that has someone's finger print on it. Now, if I could only sneak it into a crime scene somehow.
I recently received a Maple Leaf in an "air-tite" that has a lot of milk spots on it, a couple rather large ones. >>
Bad Karma is what you get when you wish ill on someone else.. "What comes around, goes around".. unless that person is truly evil.. I think that's on page 219..
What you're doing by not saying you never had one Silver coin from the Mint with a white spot is not hexing it.. hexing is different than bad karma.. hey, go look it up
I have one of whatever the first year of the Prestige Proof Sets were.. 1986?.. something like that.. ordered directly from The Mint that year.. it was flawless, and the first year of that short series of fancy Proof Sets (with one of that year's Commemorative $1.00 Proofs included).. is a semi-key, since they didn't make all that many, compared to most years..
Over the years, it developed a HUGE BLACK FINGERPRINT on the Obverse of the Lincoln Cent.. I'm talkin' taking someone's prints when they're being booked at the police station black fingerprint.. which means the coins in the Prestige Proof Sets were pushed into their holes with bare fingers.. or, the coin was touched by a bare finger, and then machines shoved them into the holes.. I don't know which.. none of the other coins in the set have that problem.. just the cent..
Since the leather-bound set opens like a book, and inside is a sonically-sealed plastic "page" holding all the coins, which you can flip back and forth to see both sides, and there's no way to open it, without literally breaking it, to replace that Proof Lincoln Cent with the HUGE BLACK FINGERPRINT on it, which is actually just toning from the oils in some Mint worker's finger, it'll be that way forever.. and tremendously reduces the value of the set, if I ever decided to sell it..

I have yet to hear from the Mint. I don't think with the holiday and such that they are "on top of this". I assume two-three weeks or more. I'm not holding my breath. If I get another bad one, I'll send it back as well but I'll first call the mint to try to get my shipping costs refunded..... good luck right.... lol

I sold my Hot Springs for around $365. Ebay fees are $24.50, paypal around $9.50 and about $10 shipping priortiy mail. Mint original price $285 including shipping. Make about $36.00 per P Puck. Someone on the BST has 50 of these so I guess you can make some money with volume just selling raw.
My PCGS DCAM 70 ASE Proof First Strike 20th Anniversary developed a nasty spot when I looked at it the other day. It took 5 years to develop. These P versions will have spotting issues from the coins I have seen so far. Some could develop years later. I have not seen evidence yet for spotting on the bullion versions.

That sucks..
I check my various flavors of ASEs from time to time, and not a single one, Bullion, Satin Finish, or Proof, has any spotting problems..
I have a bunch of Kennedy Halves that we put in 2x2" brown paper coin envelopes decades ago, and they are starting to get a bit colorful.. but it's subtle.. pastel-ish..
It would be cool to take a pile of "P"s out of out their capsules, and put then in a canvas sack, and store the sack it in a vault in Kansas City for about a hundred years.. apparently a LOT of Morgan $s in thousand coin canvas sacks, stored in Kansas City vaults, developed gorgeous monster rainbow toning, or crescent rainbows, when they were partically protected by other coins in the sacks, but that process took nearly a hundred years, from what I was told by someone who allegedly knows a lot about such things, the humidity and temperature of those Kansas City vaults were perfect for so many of those old cartwheels, that were touching the canvas to rainbow-tone..
The only problem is the matter of living long enough, or building a time machine to see the results..
I was at a Long Beach show a few years ago, and a guy walked up to David Hall, who was hanging out at the PCGS booth.. he had a cello-pack 1964 Mint Set.. pretty sure it was a Mint Set.. could've been a Proof Set.. and every single coin in it had some of the most spectacular, colorful toning I've ever seen on modern coins.. Hall was practically salivating over it, and as a small crowd gathered around, there were audible gasps.. the set's owner said he had just kept the set in its original mailing envelope, on a window sill, for decades.. it really had to be seen to be believed that it happened naturally..

Is there a FS cut off date for the 2010 P pucks or are they like the bullion pucks with all eligible? I sent the question to PCGS but have not yet rec'd an answer.
The P pucks are not specifically mentioned on the list of cut off dates so I would assume they are in the same boat as the 2010 bullion

Wasn't there a character named Pru Pucks in an episode of "Gunsmoke" around 1961?..

The anticipation level is amazing tonight with tomorrow's next release of the YO-P...
NOT
But I bet it sells out just as fast as the previous two. Some say the YO, GC and MH are the best in group. Will these sell out faster?

I think that they will sell in the same time period as Yellowstone.
Any chance that the price will reflect the drop in silver??? That would be a NO of course :-(
I'm in for three, again - against my better judgement. As I've said, I think that the 2010 business strike pucks will be keys by a large margin, but not the 2010 Ps. That said, I'll buy three, send any 70 looking ones to PCGS and sell the rest on FeeBay w/hi-res pics and my usual returns accepted for any reason policy.
I recently sold three 69 looking ones on FeeBay w/the above policy and made $25 net (pre-tax) profit each for my efforts. I'll try not to spend this windfall all in one place.
I plan to wait until 12:30 or so and I'm sure that I'll get one fast.
After a half hour of watching the message "waiting for catalog" I hit Cntrl F5 & literally shot through the remainder of the ordering process. Guess I should have done that sooner.

Just my 2 cents...but now that the price of silver has stabilized and isn't in actual "crash" mode...like it was during the sale of the second coin in the series...I would imagine that these should sell pretty well/quickly.
<< <i>Just my 2 cents...but now that the price of silver has stabilized and isn't in actual "crash" mode...like it was during the sale of the second coin in the series...I would imagine that these should sell pretty well/quickly. >>
Coin = $279.95 + $4.95 shipping = $284.90
Spot Silver (as I type this) = $37.48 x five ounces = $187.40
difference = $97.50
Somebody's making a pretty healthy profit.. price on the 2010s after Hot SPROINGS shudda been lowered, when Silver dropped from over $48.00 an ounce..
I'm just watchin' from the sidelines.. they're purty, but Mr. Wallet says

Maybe you should buy the bullion versions then. The collector Comm's in silver, plat, and gold have always been way over spot. That's why they have 2 versions.
